A registered Clinical Scientist and coordinates the MSc in Audiology at the University of Southampton. His main area of research involves measuring the brain response to sound. This is important for testing hearing, particularly in newborn infants, but has other applications including measuring if hearing aids are working well and telling if people wake up in operations. He is also interested in methods to test human balance and ways to evaluate the benefits of hearing aids and cochlear implants. He was recently principle investigator on the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) funded project ‘Personalized fitting and evaluation of hearing aids with EEG responses’, a joint project between the Universities of Southampton, Manchester, Imperial College and the Interacoustics Research Unit.
